Year 13 dancers Molly, Caitlin, Elaine and Ashleigh, fed up with professional performance tickets being too expensive for students contacted the UKs most successful choreographer, Sir Matthew Bourne OBE, to raise their concerns.

Matthew is Artistic Director of New Adventures, a dance-theatre company striving to make contemporary dance accessible to all. He also created the world’s longest running ballet production.

The dancers were thrilled to receive a reply: “We will work hard on making dance accessible to younger students.”

They were also kindly given complimentary tickets to the company’s 30th anniversary tour of Swan Lake.
